Ya might want to put the details in the first post John. Just so people who don't know about the sale won't have to search for the other thread.

Has anyone been successful using a buy.com gift card with this promotion? You have to log into buy.com to use a gift card, and when you do that, the google checkout links dissapear. I

I'd like to know that also. I don't even see an expiration date listed on the details screen anymore.

Thanks for the tip! Even though the price displayed as "Our Price: $40.43", when I added it to my cart, it was $38.48! I was able to checkout with that price (less the $10 Google discount).

Thanks, they must have lowered the price... Says 38.48 everywhere now. I just ordered it. $28 is a great price!

I noticed Alias S5 also shows as In Stock right now, but it is 29.99. Anyone have any good ideas for a cheap book or DVD? The old suggestion of a mother's rosary for her pregnant daughter is no longer listed...

I was having the browser problem too when I placed my order (when it was priced at 40.43). I just kept at it off and on over the course of an hour and finally got it to go through. Then the price dropped - - LOL

I emailed buy.com asking them to honor the lower price since it dropped right after I ordered - we'll see if they reply. Anyway - Good luck!

How about this coloring book: http://www.buy.com/prod/Batman_Begin.../31046527.html
And at this time of year, you could always give it to 'Toys for Tots' or a similar organization, and do a good deed to boot!

Yes, you are correct - you need to use your Google account to view your orders.

When I had this problem last month, it wasn't a browser problem but was due to my very slow modem connection. The link to Google Checkout would time out and give the error message. I placed my orders on my local library's high speed connection with no trouble at all.

I'm glad this is still going on. I just got Entourage S2 and Curb Your Enthusiasm S5 for less than $21 each, which beats DDD even with their 20% off sale.

When does this end?

I'm hoping to get Seinfeld Season 7 with it, which comes out on the 21st.

Damnit, I was hoping to get the new Pistons box set through buy.com for $40.53, but they raised the price $7. Looks like I'm getting it through amazon.

Not true. You can use your order number (which will be emailed to you), last name, and phone number to do Order Lookup at buy.com...

Not long, they ship in CA, I live in MI. I usually get my order within 3 days after they ship.

for some reason season 3 of Nip/Tuck (operating room cover) doesn't come with free shipping. The other cover version comes with free shipping but is $19 more than the operating room one. I'm emailing buy.com to see if there is a mistake. just seems odd that almost everyother dvd on their site has free shipping, but this one doesn't. With free shipping and the google checkout the set would be under $21.

Oh yeah, forgot about that...sorry! You can get there by clicking on 'My Account' - then you will see the 'Order Lookup' button. You can also get the buy.com order number from your purchase history at Google Checkout.
